items in QML.</p>
<p>All visual items in Qt Declarative inherit from
QDeclarativeItem. Although QDeclarativeItem has no visual
appearance, it defines all the properties that are common across
visual items - such as the x and y position, the width and height,
<a href="qml-anchor-layout.html#anchor-layout">anchoring</a> and
key handling.</p>
<p>You can subclass QDeclarativeItem to provide your own custom
visual item that inherits these features. Note that, because it
does not draw anything, QDeclarativeItem sets the <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#GraphicsItemFlag-enum">QGraphicsItem.ItemHasNoContents</a>
flag. If you subclass QDeclarativeItem to create a visual item, you
will need to unset this flag.</p>
<hr /><h2>Type Documentation</h2><h3 class="fn"><a name="TransformOrigin-enum" />QDeclarativeItem.TransformOrigin</h3><p>Controls the point about which simple transforms like scale
apply.</p>

item is set to <i>keep</i>.</p>
<p>This is useful for items that wish to grab and keep mouse
interaction following a predefined gesture. For example, an item
that is interested in horizontal mouse movement may set
keepMouseGrab to true once a threshold has been exceeded. Once
keepMouseGrab has been set to true, filtering items will not react
to mouse events.</p>
<p>If the item does not indicate that it wishes to retain mouse
grab, a filtering item may steal the grab. For example, Flickable
may attempt to steal a mouse grab if it detects that the user has
begun to move the viewport.</p>
